If you have internet access from your device, anyone can get (some) free cloud storage.
Some of the popular ones are: Dropbox & Box.net. For most people (not using their device for work), the free amounts they offer are more than most will need.
IMHO, stay away from any Google cloud storage (not to be trusted with privacy).

Ya if you still need flash your doing something different than I am .... And I'm on the net 8-10 hours a day sometimes.
I have an iPad 1 and I ran into the lack of flash a few times 18 months ago but honestly I don't think I found any flash content in the last year ????
Thank goodness, all things must die and flash was due IMHO. Total resource hog that is done so much better in HTML5.
Flash is like BetaMax .... if you still need it grab a Win95 machine and re-live the good ole days.

Never a consideration in my decision process. Personally I could careless and have no use for a tablet of any kind but it's a wife thing and a negotiable tool to up my REO inventory.
The only latest and greatest techie stuff Im ever interested in is in the PC world. Hell, I gave my smart phones to the grand kids when they went back to their mother and now we have the Jitterbugs. no camera no apps no nothing just a freaking cell phone as God intended. 
I don't think anyone mentioned it but if you are considering an ipad, apple dropped the price of ipad 2 by $100 since the 3 is coming out.
My phone has movies, music, pics, games, and having to charge it every time I turn around (when used heavily), is a pain, so I ended up getting the simple 2 month battery Kindle Touch (with wi-fi and 3G for downloading.) Between my phone, laptop, and Kindle, I'm pretty set even with the worst of week long storms. Plus, unlike my phone that needs brightest setting when outdoors and dies in an hour of use because of that, the Touch is completely readable for 2 months of outdoor use.
Good luck!

I know many you own them and most seem to be some form of Kindles but tho my wife allows me 2 REOs (a deal I should have never agreed to)She says I can get the new Ipad 3 that debuts tomorrow. I'll get the it with just 16g and wifi but no 4G so any one have the Ipad 2 and think they are worth it. I hear the Ipad3 will have Siri..not sure.
Galaxy tab 7" mate. Much better than an Ipad in my opinion, especially because of the SD card memory. Absolutely love mine.

Yes, I have to admit that I haven't run into any problems lately with not having Flash. I think the problems were more prevalent when I got my first-version iPad over a year ago. Don't miss it on Flash-based websites either. Even on my PC, I leave those on the first hint of Flash programming.
I have a 32 gb HP Touchpad that I got for $149 when they were on fire sale pricing a few months ago. Hacked android onto it and now it boots into either Android or HP's WebOS. I think it, like all tablets, is a neat little toy and nothing more. And there isn't a chance in hell that I'd spend $300, $400, $500 or more on one by any manufacturer.
The Kindle/Nook branch of the tablet tree is priced much more reasonably but of course you can't do as much as you can on a "full featured" tablet.
Steve Jobs said during the release of the original iPad that such a device needed to do things better than both a smartphone and a laptop. In my experience it (and tablets in general) falls short on both counts. Not as functional as a laptop but cooler. Somewhat more functional than a smartphone but, among other drawbacks, it is larger and...isn't a phone
Tablets are becoming more useful but at this point I simply don't see the value in them. I use an Android smartphone for almost everything that doesn't require a real computer.
Full disclosure: I'm an I.T. manager/Sys admin and deal with Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux devices daily so feel free to take my views as either hopelessly jaded, too specialized, or both
